FUN WITH LANGUAGE
HA! I thought that was about the Kardashians!

Guaranteed.
I keep thinking about how the names Arctic and Antarctica just mean "bears" and "no bears".
Missionary, so we can keep arguing.

VeinViewer is a technology that helps physicians and nurses see a patient's veins
I wonder why they don't use that on my old veins.
My friend Jack traveled with a man in India who moved from town to town by standing up then laying face down, then standing where his head was like an inchworm and repeating it...FOREVER. Jack only lasted a couple of hours.

I think those are called "Hurricane Straps" and they are part of the building code in many parts of the country. As I understand it, they really work in minimizing damage from wind.
I'm one of the relatively few people to have driven under the antenna. Of course, I had dinner and beers with the director and his family the night before.
The method, called the Divergent Association Task (DAT), asks people to name 10 nouns that are as far apart in meaning as possible. "Cat" and "book" would be more divergent than "cat" and "dog", for example. A computer algorithm then measures this semantic distance - how much the two words have to do with each other – between the nouns the person came up with. Based on an analysis of responses from 8,914 volunteers, DAT is at least as good as current methods for predicting creativity in a person.
I think they ought to have a real World Series similar to the World Cup.
I guess it depends on what they mean by "work". I think a bullet will come out of the barrel but then the pressure blows the whole thing to smithereens.
People from states with nice roads may never understand what it's like hitting a pothole so hard that you feel obligated to audibly apologize to your car.
And...
Unlike the brain, the stomach alerts you when it's empty.
LESS THAN OPTIMAL
Remember me telling you about the Indians stealing electricity right off the pole?
While out with her girlfriends who were discussing spousal abuse my wife said, "Yeah, my husband might hit me..." Everybody stared at her agape and she added, "Once. Then I would say 'Aren't you sleepy, darling'."
We all know how dangerous it is to walk while looking at your phone...
Yet many people think they can do it while driving.
I'm also curious if I'm allowed to drive around with the word FUCKING written on my vehicle.
I think that was a setup.
And for that historical fact, they selected that photograph.
Life in a warzone. The situation in Mariupol, Ukraine.

I dropped a Japanese saw the other day and jumped up to protect my feet and when I landed back on the floor both my knees collapsed just like that guy's and, anyway, I looked like this...
One penguin got in the wrong group and his friend had to go get him.
You can't truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of great violence. If you are not capable of violence you are not peaceful, you are harmless.
Here are the cartoons I don't understand and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know who needs to hear this but demons aren't afraid of sage.
WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT
A gem of an alteration from my friend in London.
Make weed legal and you'll see a lot more of that sort of thing.
Little bastard looks like a T-rex doesn't he?
Do you think they use that instead of canons?
Sports teams do that to people.

Regarding the voter turn-out images/posts at the beginning of today's blog.
I find it almost impossible to believe that less than 7 million Texans voted for governor. For those not familiar with the state of Texas, we are geographically twice the size of Germany with about 30 million residents.
I was hoping that every woman in the state would have cast her vote, one way or another. Instead, they stayed home. Why? I don't know. I feel that the women of Texas have sided with the harsh abortion laws recently passed by our governor.
This is the beginning of the "Texas Taliban". It will soon turn into the US Taliban. I fear we are doomed.
antarctic and arctic also mean penguins and no penguins

Etymologically Arctic comes from Greek άρκτος - arktos
Dude! Antarctic just means opposite of Arctic. If you want to break it down, Arctic comes from a Greek word that means "of the bear". Has something to do with the polar star which marks the North Pole. One is referring to the constellation of the bear, and the other is referring to you opposite the constellation of the bear.
The two words have nothing to do with "has penguins" or "doesn't have penguins".
My Dude, It. Was. A. Joke.
